Hi Everyone,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Some great information on this forum.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I just recently purchased an EP45C-DS3R and am running the following:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
E8500<o:p></o:p>
Corsair Dominator 1066 - 2x2GB<o:p></o:p>
Single - Velociraptor 300<o:p></o:p>
ATI 4850<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
BIOS - F10<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I have been trying to install Vista x64 on this system for about a week with the same result after reviewing as many posts as possible in this forum.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
My problem is that per the manual, I have a single drive and set the BIOS to RAID, I see the drive in the listing is controlled by the RAID but NEVER see the CTRL+I to setup the drive in the Intel manager.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
It goes by so quick, then lists the PCI devices (is there a way to turn that off?) start the Verifying DMI Pool....... and sits there.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
With the OS CD and boot from DVD, Vista loads to the load driver screen. I load the most recent driver from the Gigabyte website it sees the controller then cannot find the drive. I assume this is because it is not setup in the Intel Manager but I never see where to enter it. The manual states nothing about 2 drives being necessary and I have tried the SATA Native mode.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Is this something to do with the Raptor which has been verified good in another machine and is plugged into SATA2-0 on the board?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks in advance for any advice.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Cheers!<o:p></o:p>
